In "Fashion Week", they succeeded at talking to models, by playing their "nerd game". Zeke got the role of Peter Pan in Justin's school play in "Fairy Tale." In the episode "Wizard For A Day", he is upset when he realizes the real aliens do not understand his "alien speak". Zeke and Harper go to "Zombie Prom" together. As of Season 3, Zeke has been featured in episodes more often. In "Alex Saves Mason", he came close to finding out the Russo's secret, after witnessing Mason transform from a wolf to an in-between stage of human and wolf. In season 4, Zeke eventually finds out the Russo's are wizards.
